Before I head back into the President’s impeachment trial, let me just say you can’t ‘dispel the notion’ of a Constitutional right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump & Republicans might be happy to run out the clock until the next election with their partisan lawsuit—but they’ve already made their endgame perfectly clear: they want to take health care & protections away from hundreds of millions of families who rely on them. — PolitiTweet.org

We all need to remember the oath we took and act in ways that prove the Senate, and all our democratic institutions… https://t.co/6lntg9KgMX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need to vote today for evidence & fairness, not a sham designed to protect an impeached President from the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At the end of this trial, no one should doubt that the Senate has acted fairly & honorably—but we will be unable to… https://t.co/Jv7Q1RSnWO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I hope Republican senators recognize we cannot do our job as senators to "do impartial justice" without key documents and witness testimony that has so far been hidden from the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People across the country are watching this carefully. They want to know all the relevant testimony and evidence is being considered—and that the Senate is acting fairly rather than staging a cover-up. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Leader McConnell has explicitly said "no" to impartial justice in spite of the careful & thorough investigation the House conducted & in spite of President Trump's unprecedented stonewalling & continued refusal to provide any credible defense against the allegations against him. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking with my Democratic colleagues about the need for impartial justice in the Senate impeachment trial. https://t.co/oPicL3p4af — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Tomorrow at 10am PST/1pm ET, the impeachment trial begins in the Senate. I will approach my responsibility as a juror with the seriousness and impartiality required to fulfill my oaths to protect our Constitution—and I hope all of my colleagues do the same. https://t.co/jFMxBNExFB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans are putting health care in our country on a completely avoidable, catastrophic crash course w/ their partisan lawsuit. I urge President Trump & Republicans to listen to patients & drop their partisan & deeply harmful attacks on families’ health care. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Americans deserve a fair trial in the Senate, and let’s be clear: an endurance test does not equal a fair trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We are still striving for the future Martin Luther King, Jr., was fighting for—but if we stand together to fight injustice, we can all make a difference. This #MLKDay, let's recommit to his vision of justice, service, & fairness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As a former preschool teacher, I know how important high-quality child care is for a child's future—but the skyrocketing costs are putting it out of reach for so many families. We must make #ChildCare4All a reality. https://t.co/DKEEjiFRFX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Joined @SenatorCarper and @SenFeinstein to demand answers from CBP about reports that Iranian-Americans were recently detained and questioned at the border in Washington state. We must get to the bottom of this. https://t.co/TFYShmITMR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let me be clear: the Republicans’ partisan health care lawsuit would put them one step closer to getting the health care plan they’ve always wanted—one that kicks millions of people off their care & takes away protections they rely on. We must keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week, there were reports that President Trump will raid even more money—$7.2B—from our military for his border wall. Our men & women in uniform—& their families—deserve better. Congress must pass my bill to put an end to this executive overreach. https://t.co/GhVkhNYsfN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If the GOP succeeds in its partisan lawsuit, people of color across the country will lose quality, affordable health care & protections they need. Communities of color alone could see over 10 million more people uninsured. That's why we must keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Looking forward to working with @SenatorDurbin to put #StudentsFirst in the Senate. @BetsyDeVosED's Borrower Defense rule prioritizes predatory for-profit colleges over student loan borrowers—and it’s time to reverse it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The IRS and Treasury Department listened to our requests and did the right thing by expanding tax relief for defrauded borrowers—but there is still much we need to do to provide relief for cheated students. https://t.co/QjsBKrdA5g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

11M patients in our country get the quality, affordable health coverage they need through the marketplace. Republicans are fighting in their partisan lawsuit to strip that coverage away and throw millions of families into jeopardy. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin's proposed faith-based regulations are nothing less than a license to discriminate against members of the LGBTQIA+ community and women, & will leave underserved & underrepresented communities at risk of losing access to vital services. https://t.co/fXumXuyuyp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The @PeaceCorps is a great way for volunteers to serve their communities, nation, & the world. I’m so proud to see my home state of WA ranked as one of the top 10 volunteer-producing states in the country! #PCTopStates https://t.co/Lw3nBrgRJu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulations to the WNBA & @TheWNBPA on this historic agreement! This is a critical step forward in the fight toward #EqualPay, paid leave, & affordable child care for all women and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While the opioid epidemic is tearing apart communities across the country, Republicans are fighting in their health care lawsuit to strike down Medicaid expansion & essential health benefits—both of which have been critical for so many people getting treatment. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

It was wonderful to meet with @NASA astronauts @AstroHague and Spokane native @AstroAnnimal! I’m so grateful for their service, and commitment to inspiring future generations to follow them into space. https://t.co/v9SWaOTltg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many cheated and defrauded students are stuck with debt and still waiting for relief. Today the House put #StudentsFirst by voting to reverse @BetsyDeVosED's Borrower Defense rule. DeVos needs to do her job & protect student loan borrowers, not predatory for-profit colleges. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The articles of impeachment will be presented to the Senate at 9am PST, followed by Chief Justice Roberts—as well as my colleagues & me—being sworn in. In the next few days, the House & President have a responsibility to prepare materials & the trial will begin on Jan. 21. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thrilled to help honor WA state native, @SteveGleason, with the Congressional Gold Medal today. Steve's bravery, dedication, & determination to raise awareness about ALS & champion efforts to improve the quality of life for people living with ALS are an inspiration to us all. https://t.co/j3EJCwsSx5 — PolitiTweet.org
